2026-27 SJN School Calendar
Back to School Important Dates 26-27
Early Childhood Orientation (PK3-Kinder)
This event is required; no students allowed:
- Teachers will explain the rules/procedures to parents. Parents will be able to ask questions and get an idea how the classroom will operate.
- There is a mandatory presentation in the gym. We will send out more information at a later date.
Back to School Bash
Kids are encouraged to attend!
Students will meet their teachers, drop-off supplies, and parents will be able to finalize beginning of the year items (ex. get car-tags, sign-up for athletics, etc.)
Curriculum Night (Grades1-8)
This event is required; no students allowed:
- Parents will meet with their child(ren)'s teachers and learn about the curriculum, expectations of the class, etc
- There is also a mandatory presentation in the gym. We will send out more information at a later date.

K-8th Grade Uniforms
Middle School Electives
Things to Know about Electives
- 6th-8th grades will have 4 electives per year (1 each quarter)
- All 6th graders will have Study Hall Q1 to help with the transition to middle school
- Classes will contain students in different grade levels
- Electives will be once a week on Tuesdays
- Electives will be "pass or fail"
- 8th graders will get first priority, followed by 7th grade, then 6th grade
- Requests do NOT guarantee your student will be enrolled in the class; it is possible a student could get placed in a class they did not request (I'm hoping this doesn't happen but it is possible depending on class sizes)
- Sewing may require parents to purchase items
- We have not finalized if we are having a "Medical Class" yet. Every other elective above will be offered next year
Note: I'm not sure it is the best way to do it, but I grouped elective requests to prevent the same 4-5 classes from being requested by every student. This method helps me understand which other choices students are open to taking next year. The classes are NOT grouped by quarter.
Supply Lists 2026-27
If you want to buy supplies that are shipped to SJN!

Good evening everyone,
We had some questions about the signup link for CCYO Softball. All information for this season this August has been posted and the signup link is updated. I know communication dwindles over the summer so please get this circulated throughout your schools before school is out. Hope you all have a wonderful summer!!

Have a blessed evening,

Summer Choir
Mrs. Tae Bradshaw is an excellent vocalist and graduate student colleague of mine at UCO, she's running a summer choir camp. If you have students involved in vocal music programs with your school I'd recommend they attend this summer camp if possible and desired. I've attached a flyer and a link to the website.
